208: Arrival in the Mysterious Realm

Profound Realm

Inside the Main Hall of the Heavenly Fiend Hall, the Hall Master and many Elders were holding a high-level meeting.

Zhao Yang's granduncle, Zhao Kuo, said, "Hall Master, news has come back from the Outer Profound Realm; our branch hall has been completely wiped out."

Hall Master Sha Qi, with a cold and serious expression, asked with a voice tinged with anger, "Who has such audacity to dare destroy a branch hall of my Heavenly Fiend Hall!"

"It was someone named Jiang Ye from the southern domain, and a Genius Disciple from the Taichu Sect assisted him. Rumor has it that person found a Secret Realm Legacy, and his Realm skyrocketed directly to the Saint Realm Fifth Stage; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to destroy our branch hall."

Sha Qi frowned slightly. This Secret Realm seemed to have greatly exceeded his expectations; he hadn't sent more Disciples there at the time. He didn't expect it could allow someone in the Venerable Realm to Breakthrough directly to the Saint Realm. If his Heavenly Fiend Hall had one more Saint Realm expert, their overall strength would surely increase significantly.

"Have the details about that Taichu Sect Disciple been investigated? The two factions within the Taichu Sect are fighting fiercely for the position of Sect Leader. Find a way to negotiate with their other faction and unite with them to apply pressure, forcing the faction of the Disciple who destroyed my Heavenly Fiend Hall to pay compensation."

Previously, the Azure Emperor, to ease the pressure on Jiang Ye upon arriving at the Profound Realm, publicly claimed that he and several others had found a Secret Realm, and they had all broken through to the Ninth Stage of the Venerable Realm, while he himself had reached the Saint Realm Fifth Stage. Now, he was leading those people back to the Profound Realm to join the Taichu Sect together.

For a time, all the forces in the Profound Realm were discussing that Saint Realm Disciple from the Taichu Sect. If that were the case, there would be no suspense regarding the winner of the Profound Realm Youth Grand Competition in three months.

Taichu Sect

Inside a courtyard, Sect Leader Xu Jiang and a highly senior Taichu Sect Old Ancestor were discussing.

"Ancestor Ming, this time one of our Elite Disciples, Tian Hao, obtained that Secret Realm Legacy in the Outer Profound Realm, and his Realm rose directly to the Xuan Saint Realm Fifth Stage. I worry that the other faction within the sect will act against him. I wonder if Ancestor Ming could step forward to protect him."

Ancestor Ming picked up his teacup, took a sip, set it down, and said slowly, "Rest assured. Since it involves the core interests of the Taichu Sect, the other two Old Ancestors will warn them."

Xu Jiang said, "The people from the Heavenly Fiend Hall came to negotiate with Vice Sect Master Zhang Liu, saying that Tian Hao completely destroyed their branch hall in the Outer Profound Realm. Now they are demanding compensation from our Taichu Sect, and I worry they might hand Tian Hao over on their own."

Ancestor Ming thought for a moment and said, "When that Disciple returns, just have him hand over some of the things he obtained in the Secret Realm. After all, he is a member of the Taichu Sect; let it be considered a contribution to the sect to silence those people. As for the Heavenly Fiend Hall, they can't cause much of a stir, so there's no need to pay them any mind!"

"Yes, I understand!" Xu Jiang bowed respectfully and then left the small courtyard.

Five days later

Jiang Ye and the others arrived at the Profound Realm smoothly. Because of the Azure Emperor Tian Hao, no one dared to cause trouble on the cloud ship. However, just as they stepped off the cloud ship, people from the Heavenly Fiend Hall appeared and blocked Jiang Ye and the others.

The leader was Zhao Kuo. His grandnephew could have become a future Branch Hall Master but was killed by Jiang Ye, so he had come specifically for him.

Zhao Kuo looked at Jiang Ye and said in a condescending tone, "Are you the one who killed the people from my Heavenly Fiend Hall's branch hall?"

Jiang Ye pointed at Tian Hao and said unexpectedly, "He's the one who destroyed the hall; it has nothing to do with me. How could someone like me in the Heaven Realm dare to kill your Heavenly Fiend Hall's people? Go look for him!"

Tian Hao's mouth twitched, feeling a bit speechless. Is this fucking the so-called killing god of the southern domain?

Zhao Kuo didn't dare do anything to Tian Hao because neither their individual strengths nor the powers behind them were comparable, so he could only direct his hostility toward Jiang Ye.
